How long has the author used Python? OO, while responsible for much of the footguns, is also responsible for an enormous amount of Python's expressive power. Being able iterate or key into arbitrary objects as if they were lists or dictionaries is enormously powerful, but all of that structure is OO based. It's a huge part of what "pythonic" means.

> If you've taken the pure-FP/hexagonal-architecture pill

Writing software is not something you take a conceptual "pill" for. You learn new tools that you add to your toolchest and use at your own discretion. Tools which purport to be able to displace a whole arena of otherwise stable, mature, and high productivity tools better be at least comparable if not significantly better to encourage upgrade. FP as a tool definitely comes in handy for quite a few use cases. FP as an ideology? Not so much.

Regarding the latter, I'm getting a little sick of the FP chauvinism that that pretends that pre-existing software and how it was written is obviously inferior to the new, purely FP way without any real persuasive evidence. Code that's written in an overly FP oriented way is no less immune to the same codebase diseases that code written in an overly OO oriented way is. It's the map-territory problem all over again.

This is an interesting result but it doesn't tell us if this is a universal aspect of humor or if it's a cultural thing. I'd be very interested in further studies showing if this applies to other languages and cultures.
Here are some things in the current system I'm hoping a single payer system would fix:

* I walk in, and they can tell me right away whether I will be billed or not. There's no "we'll see" and then maybe I get a bill in a few weeks.

* I walk in to a different doctor's office and the answer as to whether I'm billed or not is the same as at the other doctor.

* Because of these first two items, I walk in and they can tell me ahead of time what my bill will be.

* We can now replace "walk in" with "check their websites (or call) and comparison shop".

Maybe they can't tell me if my treatment is taxed until I'm diagnosed, but that still gives me the option to find out my bill before treatment. Once I'm diagnosed, if it's non-urgent I can shop around.

Price transparency is non-existent in US healthcare. There's no big mystery as to why that would cause inefficiency and absurd costs.
Totally. That structure also allows for multiple dispatch, which makes generic programming much much more pleasant than OO (which is basically single dispatch). Eg. See Julia.

To elaborate, tying methods with the individual/first argument makes it very difficult to model interactions of multiple objects.
The Model S and Model X have both had their long awaited interior refreshes. Live on the configuration pages. Looks like a drastic improvement overall.

I would say that is simply down you you not being experienced with writing code this way.

Once you begin writing functional code more regularly, you will get much the opposite way of thinking. Today I find it frustrating that I need an object first. In my mind, I already know what action I want to do. I know what function I want to call. I start with that and look at what arguments it takes in.

OOP programming is frustrating now, because instead of going straight for the function I have to locate the appropriate object first. That is like a big detour.

> If you write your code as a bag of data structures and a bag of functions that you pass those ad-hoc data structures to, it is less clear which things play together.

Noting suggest you need to write code like that. People who write functional code tend to have a lot of well defined data types. I use well defined data types in Julia. Haskell and OCaml developers use well defined data types. We are not using using dictionaries or something.
For those interested... I thought this was a pretty good book going over the creation and evolution of the US Healthcare system. It's equal parts fascinating and infuriating.

I maintain a couple of Django projects for a customer of mine. I wrote almost 50% of the code base. Those two projects use very few classes, probably only the models. Everything else is a bag of functions organized in modules.

It's very similar to an Elixir /Phoenix project I'm working on for another customer. Modules and functions and a couple of dozens of GenServers that act as objects to maintain status where we need it.

And yet, I easily follow the OO model of Ruby of Rails. I feel it right in that context, probably because the rails of RoR are more well defined than the ones of Django. Of course when I script in Ruby I bet rarely write a class. A few functions, actually methods of Object, are all I need there.

It's fair to exclude vulnerable non-recurring revenue such as regulatory credits to get a better picture of a companies health.

For Go, there is no industry standard yet, but I've been using Echo for years now and love it. I also use Gorm for handling dealing with MySQL, both have made development in Go extremely productive for me.

From what I've heard from other Go developers, and what I've seen personally, is the library you use doesn't matter too much. They'll all offer their own benefits but because it's so easy to dig into the source to see what's going on underneath the hood, it makes picking up someones code easier than it would in other languages.

You're insisting on fighting that straw man. Yes, Phillip Morris used propaganda and influenced a politician here or there. That's fundamentally different than Twitter, whose very essence is a machine for influencing people at scale, including who they vote for. At a certain point, a difference of degree becomes a difference of kind.

You could argue that "airplanes are no different than hot-air balloons" on the basis that they're both aerial modes of transportation, and you'd be right in the strict sense that you've framed the debate, but you'd be ignoring the original point and steering the debate away from anything that might be considered insightful. Frankly, I don't have any interest in engaging in that kind of discourse (and also it's generally against the spirit of this forum).

This is just a personal preference. I would say the same about Python / Django: You get extensible login/signup/password-reset/etc authentication & user-permissions management, and even an admin interface with user groups, right out of the box. I can put together a web app in "60 seconds" that would take weeks to assemble using the JavaScript ecosystem. Having taught classes on both, I'd also say it's also easier for beginners. Again, might be my own bias or other factors, but it seemed to me that the Python/Django student's final projects have on average "out-shown" the JavaScript SPA student's final projects in terms of features that they had time to complete.

This isn't to hate on JS, this is just to acknowledge that other languages and frameworks have substantial advantages in many use-cases.
I see a lot of comments [in general on the web] calling people 'gay' when those people clearly had/are having both heterosexual and homosexual relationships. Things like "Freddie Mercury was gay" when Brian May attests that Mercury enjoyed heterosexual encounters too. The proper definition is bisexual then, it seems.

But perhaps the same reluctance to acknowledge those who seek homosexual relationships is present in people who call themselves gay, they won't acknowledge people as bi? Which seems like hypocritical bias against people whose behaviours are bisexual.

Maybe the behaviour you call out is because people want to have homosexual sex without being 'gay'. By which I mean without making that sexual activity the focus of their identity (I believe it's known as MSM)? It need not have anything particularly to do with societal disapproval.

Who one has sex with, and defining oneself by ones sexuality are quite distinct, as too are sexual desire and desire for relationships.

Salaries are certainly a part of it - medical staff are paid much lower in other countries.

Because they don't have to pay for their education. Governments there recognize that having lots of doctors is a public good and don't saddle them with hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt from medical school.

Doctors aren't the ones who pay that medical school bill (if they get a job). It's their patients who pay the medical school bills.

The problem of medical expenses in the US is a very complex one. It's essentially at the nexus of a whole bunch of problems with our society. Higher education is too expensive. We have too many middlemen. Strong intellectual property laws make drugs and devices expensive. Patent laws make evergreening more profitable than innovation. Intense regulatory requirements for approval make competition very limited for pharmaceuticals. The government doesn't maintain control of the products resulting from the blue-sky R&D it funds. etc etc.

The second that the shorts have covered the price isn't going to drop to $90, it's going to drop back to $20 and most of the WSBers who were holding out for $2000 will lose their shirts. The shorts are going to lose, no doubt. But once they've lost, the stock price is probably $20. A lot of WSBers are going to be holding stock at that point, and possibly on margin. And that stock is going to be a crappy retail stock. At which point it'll be a slow drift as they cut their losses and move onto the next meme stock.

The stock price today is irrelevant if you're not going to sell, and that's what WSB Thto be saying. The price is going to drop much faster than it rose.
This answer is facile, but missing:

It takes so long to build software because it can. One can't construct a building forever. A novel is published and done. But software can be developed over its useful lifetime.

Similar followup:

The parts that take a long time, do so because the quick parts were finished quickly.

Lengthy software development isn't a problem with software, but rather reflects the frictionless malleability of code.

"Why does software dev take so long," isn't the same question as, "How to develop software more quickly?"

So this is interesting, but I'm concerned you may have issues here, just like workpath (formerly Iggbo) and Call9 did (though for different reasons).

There's a slight chance that this sort of service may in fact be illegal, or at least in a gray area, depending on who performs the sample draw:
https://nppn.info/index.php/blog/view/iggbo-is-illegal

Typically, if you order a test, the person performing the test has to be actually employed by the organization that pays them (ie, cannot be a contractor), and there aren't national-level service providers for things like phlebotomy, because the economics don't really work out yet.

Also, if the provider (MD/NP/PA) service isn't actually doing the test themselves, then I believe they have to provide the option to the patient to choose what service they go to (Lab Corp, Quest, your service or another) because not providing the customer a choice may violate Stark law prohibitions on inter-provider referrals.

I am sure you have considered much of this, but would love to hear what you've found so far.
I replied in terms of your first sentence. Molecules doesn’t concentrate spontaneously without active energy expenditure from someone (putting salt in a pot will have salt uniformly distributed everywhere).

Now, either there were some naturally formed impermeable areas with an abundance of base material (yet again, I’m not saying life emerged because the UFOs created it), or we are talking about many orders of magnitude less statistical chances.
I am willing to believe that many, not individually extraordinary thing had to happen at the same time, that made life possible - but that pretty much makes their combined presence extraordinary, which is my claim.

(Some form of underwater volcanic caves or whatever could sound like a possibility, especially because last I checked, starting sticked to a surface with certain catalytic activities is a plausible theory. Especially due to the reduced statistical chances due to a 2D surface instead of a 3D one! What I have a bit of trouble seeing, is how did organic materials form - I am aware of the famous experiment with lightning bolts that created ammonia and some other chemicals, but it would only slowly increase their uniform distribution in the oceans. Perhaps some chemical reaction with gases that made them accumulate? )

Your ire is not necessarily directed at a personal preference to be a bad person, though. Attributing it to him "wanting to be evil" is easy, especially because he is abrasive.

Due to the incentives above, it might be said we are annoyed by their lack of willingness to be fired in a futile effort to obstruct a system which will carry on regardless--we are annoyed they won't do something pointless.

I have a feeling most people would have trouble taking food out of their family's mouth and literally becoming unemployed in order to tilt at a windmill where your effort cannot win. That's a pretty impossible standard to expect. If Shkreli found morals and got fired, Shkreli2 would take over.

So instead, I say, the problem is the system. Pretending it is about moral failing enables the system to go on by wasting time blaming moral failings instead of fixing it. The system produces bad behavior. We can tut tut each individual person it produces, or we can change the incentives and fix the system.
I suppose that does make sense.

Following up, there was a random theory on WSB that since hedge funds were short over %130 of Gamestop's stock, there is a real risk that this will cause a liquidity crunch where there is literally no available stock to cover their positions.

As in there does not exist the stock to cover those positions, which means institutions are going to be in a race to avoid bankruptcy and have to outbid each other to acquire the remaining stock held by all these retail investors who know what they have. This is why WSB posters are saying $5000 is a conceivable price.

This is what would cause regulatory intervention, and certainly sets up the means/motive/opportunity for interrupting trading. Like the Fed steps in and buys it out or something. This looks like an LTCM level event.

Would we expect Tesla to optimize for profitability ex-regulatory credits? It seems like they know what they'll get from that, and they invest in building out new gigafactories based on the total net income they have, or they pass the savings onto customers (which leads to more sales). What makes ex-regulatory credit profitability a metric that anyone should care about?

Charging time is a non-issue nowadays. Last weekend I drove from Portland to Spokane and back (almost 400 miles each way). I entered my destination on the Tesla's giant touchscreen. The car figured out the route and the one charging stop. I drove to the freeway, turned on autopilot, and let the car do its thing. Then three hours later the car took an exit. I drove from the offramp to the charging station, plugged in, and had a snack/coffee. By the time I was back, the car was ready to go. The only issue was that automatic lane change was occasionally disabled due to snow obscuring cameras. The whole experience was far less tiring or stressful than any road trip I've taken with a gas car.

If you're still building out the roadmap put a little bit of resources (or thought spent) around the ability to add in live instructor classes further on down the line. That way you can bring that market along with you instead of the situation that Peleton and Zwift have that is an either or situation (different hardware considerations there, but annoying you are locked into one option). Different model and capital allocations - but worth considering.

<div> is also substantially older than both <button> and <input type="button">. The only button like thing before HTML4 was <input TYPE=SUBMIT>.

And, as you mention, the default styling was typically "make it look like the button in the underlying OS".

So there was a lot of inertia from existing code, examples, and docs that predated buttons. And a (misinformed) avoidence of it when it did appear because of styling.
